Very poor quality web site doesn't offer much confidence in the rest of their service.

If you've got a pillion you're paying over £250 a day to save a long day's riding, but are going to have quite a lot of general other hassle getting your bike to the transport place, then having to get to the airport etc. Sounds like over all you're not saving much hassle, so not sure it's worth it.

Instead, I'd be tempted to rent a cheap transit, get a couple of mates together and drive up your self, or similar, if you are looking to avoid the long ride.

Awful website, and what's the point? Tot up the amount of time you'll spend dropping your bike off for collection (and then getting home) and then getting to the airport, titting around for hours, flying up, titting around a bit more.... you could have ridden there by then!

Pay 500quid, turn up and public place and have your bike loaded into a big white van. Sounds like a great plan!
Roll up at airport, no tickets, no bike no trace.
If you want to book my number is 07955 512333

Better off adding a couple of days in and enjoy the ride up to Scotland and do your own thing once there.
You will be spending time the day before getting your bike to the drop off point then a day of hassle flying via Gatwick with luggagee to inverness.

Is it a coincidence that a user called Si registers, who has magically 'found' this company, who is run by a chap called Simon?

I think it is quite a novel idea, however like everyone before me has said they have went about it wrong in my opinion. Their website is poorly designed and could easily be mistaken as a scam.

They should design their site a bit better; get someone to collect your bike for you and take it to the airport for you, and change some of their prices too.

Part of the fun of a biking holiday is the journey there and the only phone number listed on that site is a mobile - could be anyone.

Does look a bit unneccesary in this country where distances and the channel are less of a problem. Now if they did a better service to Europe from a variety of UK pick up points that might be better. The channel/north france is a bit of a pain. Also if they did the pick ups for the winter to warmer parts, ie spain it could be a usefull service. But sorry the highlands is not that far away and getting there is part of the trip.
